Porpoises are a group of fully aquatic marine mammals that are sometimes referred to as mereswine. They are small toothed whales that are very closely related to oceanic dolphins. The most obvious visible difference between the two groups is that porpoises have shorter beaks and flattened, spade-shaped teeth distinct from the conical teeth of dolphins. Porpoises feed largely on fish and squid, much like the rest of the odontocetes. Porpoises are very sensitive to anthropogenic disturbances, and are keystone species, which can indicate the overall health of the marine environment.
